Troy stared into space, dreaming of basketballs dribbling down the court. He imagined making the shot that won the state championship. He watched as the ball arched to go into the net, when suddenly, he got hit in the back of the head, hard.
Troy turned around and remembered where he was: detention. This time it was with his history teacher, for simply chewing gum.
Troy looked at the clock and realized it was 3:09. He still had about 21 minutes left of this torture.
He slouched in his chair and stared at the chalkboard.
Then suddenly…
Out of nowhere…
HE BURST INTO SONG AND DANCE!!!
Troy jumped on the desk and in a terrible clash of songs he had stuck in his head. He sung:
"We're all in this-
Stick to the status quo-
We're breaking free-
Start of something new-
Get your head in the GAME!!!!"
Troy started dancing around, jumping from desk to desk. He had no clue what came over him.
Mrs. Marshwiggle stood and said, "TROY BOLTON! SIT DOWN THIS MINUTE! I DON'T CARE HOW BAD YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM! YOU HAVE A HALF HOUR IN HERE AND THEN YOU'RE FREE TO RELEASE YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT!"
Troy stuttered as he continued to dance, "I… I…" He tried with all his conviction to stop dancing and singing, by biting his lip and standing still. It didn't work, two seconds later he was bolting out, "I CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU! FEELINGS LIKE I NEVER KNEW!"
Mrs. Marshwiggle put her hand over her mouth. She said, "Troy, flatterly won't get you anywhere!"
Troy kept singing and dancing on, "I CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU! FROM THE START, GOT MY HEART!" As he finished, his dazzling smile came across his face.
Mrs. Marshwaggle said, "All right, Troy. You can go and I'll forget about your gum-chewing incident." She giggled.
Troy smiled again, and started flying out of the room, singing, "We're breaking free."
He got into the hallway, and couldn't stop yet. He had no control over what was happening.
